There are exceptions though like the upcoming Aptera which only weighs around 800 kg even with a large range.

I'll believe it when it happens. Aptera has gone out of business more times than they have released a production car.

I remember being excited about the Aptera twelve years ago. I’ll maybe get excited again once they actually start shipping a vehicle. They’ve already gone out of business once.

Unfortunately, they are also making a lot of claims that they haven't demonstrated in a working vehicle yet. Getting to production is going to be hard.

This will change with improved batteries, charging infrastructure, and shrinking EV tech. By the time this could hit the market, hopefully the weight difference would be less stark.
